Waters finally snapped a scoreless tie with his 408-foot (100.9 mph EV) solo shot off of Ryan Feltner to lead off the sixth inning. He then tripled in the ninth inning and scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Michael Massey. He has done a decent job so far for the Royals this season, slashing .273/.314/.455 with one homer, two RBI and one stolen base in his first 34 plate appearances. He remains irrelevant for fantasy purposes.

Sauer will be capable of working multiple innings, but the 26-year-old won’t be able to go deep enough to qualify for a victory unless the Athletics are incredibly aggressive against the right-hander. He won’t be a quality streaming option for Thursday’s bullpen game against the Athletics.

Ohtani hit a no-doubter to lead off the game for the Dodgers and it bumps his homer total to 13. He’s been remarkably — and surprisingly — good in the month of May, and he’s now slashing .341/.442/.818 over those 48 at-bats in that timeframe. There’s a long way to go, but a back-to-back MVP season is well within reason, even if he doesn’t return to the mound in 2025.
